my parents have decided to support romney simply because he's "not a communist"

i try to bring up how much he's flip flopped and they just say every politician has at some point, i can't convince them how extreme he is with it no matter how hard i try (seriously, how can you legitimately take a presidential candidate seriously if they've changed their minds on literally every important issue that's ever been presented?)

it doesn't matter what i say to people like them because in the end they only want to vote for the "lesser of two evils", and it all comes down to their strong belief that obama is communist and they'd vote for literally anyone who's not one

yeah, it blows because a lot of the people i know and actually like support that guy. a lot of them support him because he's "not a communist", others because he's religious. I try not to get into those discussions because i end up feeling less intelligent every time i walk away from one.
